Deer Pics

I went to Van Buren this weekend with some buddies to do some gigging on the Current River. Anyway, we camped at Big Springs Park while we were there. Saturday morning I took these pictures of a buck we saw in the park. We saw probably 5 or 6 different bucks and all but one was chasing does.

That is a very nice buck!

Yes, he is!!!! If he didn't live in a park, he probably wouldn't last too long. He stayed within 50 to 60 yards of the road for well over an hour. I almost hit him early in the morning when we were making a run into Van Buren to grab breakfast. He was chasing two does around. We sat and watched him for probably 5 or 10 minutes from the truck on the way to town. When we came back, he was still within 50 yards of where we saw him last and the doe was bedded down with him. Again, we sat around for 5 or 10 minutes and watched him and he was never farther than 50 or 60 yards from us.
